History 750

For this assignment, you are to construct an Abstract for your research paper. An effective abstract synthesizes your research into a concise, professional summary that identifies your argument, methodology, and significance (not necessarily in that order). Your abstract must be a full paragraph and must address the following four elements:

1. The Problem: What specific historical or cultural tension are you investigating?

2. The Thesis: What is your central claim?

3. The Evidence: What primary or secondary sources are you using to prove your point?

4. The Significance: Why does this research matter? What is the larger implication of your findings?

I have provided a sample for you to review and use as a model. Note the due date and time, and be sure to upload it as a Word file. And be prepared to discuss it in class.

I will also be uploading work that’s already been done to align with the abstract paper… Such as thesis and outline paper.
